"Eh?" the maid looked away from her conversation partner and immediately her gaze zeroed in on the nail. "You found it! I was missing one!"

"In any case, it's not as if you aren't here to help, so I feel safe telling you about it," continued the brunette maid, "Besides, I need help convincing this moron that there was a theft at all."

"But there wasn't!" cried the black-haired maid, "Was there?"
